Hi guys
Just wanted to start off by saying that I am very new to all of this so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place.
As the title says i am looking for an application developer to help myself and my business partner out. I feel I have got an amazing idea for a mobile application to help Nurseries and Parents with their child care needs.
We have started out by carrying out a lot of market research and even though there are applications out there that do what I am suggesting there is nothing out there that is solely mobile application based and require expensive software packages to get the full potential of the application. I have also carried out some analysis on the potential earnings of the application based on data supplied by Ofsted and the potential earnings of the application are significant.
I have also contacted local child carers and they are in high demand for an affordably application to help them carry out their day to day activities.
Please can you let me know if this sounds like something that will interest you and if you give me your details I can give you a call and we can discuss things further.
Little bit more about me.
Name: Donovan Beykirch
Location: York, North Yorkshire, UK
Please let me know anything else you would like to know.
Many thanks for your time

Hey guys. I have been looking for some good software for weeks now and have been unable to find one that I really like. So I figure that I might as well post up here since this is where I get all of my other information regarding my phone.
So this is what I am looking for:
I am looking for some type of CRM or Customer relationship management software for the Pocket PC. For those who dont know, this is essentially a piece of software that allows you to record customers, sales, phone calls made and received from customers, interest of customers, and personal information. It is primarily used to keep track of customers, leads and sales.
Ideally I would like some software that can be used on both regular windows as well as Pocket PC Windows. Meaning I can update or add customer information on either my laptop or my PPC and the 2 devices will synchronize and maintain the same information. However if that is not possible, something that just works on the PPC only is just fine. I really need it to be able to store customers, categorize them by where they came from I.E. who referred them, update contact information such as phone calls made and received as well as appointments set, and indicate when the customer has been sold or is no longer in the market or a hot prospect.
.
If anyone could recommend a CRM software for the pocket pc that is primarily sales based, it would be GREATLY appreciated. I really need to get something as the old pen and pad mentality is not quite as efficient as I would like and I figure its time to finally step into the new millennium with my sales tracking.
Thanks a lot for all of the help guys! Btw, I dont mind paying for good software, I just need it to work well. Something that is easy to use and makes it easy to update customer information especially including calls made to them and the status of their sales deal. Thx.

Anyone got any ideas on this one?

It'd be pretty rudementry, but might work. I know with the task manager, you can set a task, and then throw notes into it. You can then also set custom priority levels. Might be able to use this to your advantage. Use the priority levels to rank the lead (cold, warm, hot, wtf why isn't this closed yet, etc etc), notes for who refered them, and once you close the deal, you can check it off your list as completed.
Just my $.02.
Edit: Goes to show what happens when you leap before you look. You CAN set priorty levels to low, normal, and high, and then can set custom categories to help you sort them by. Good luck!
Thanks for the help, however I tried this initially and it doesnt work well enough for me. It works in a rudimentary manner, but I need more control and information managment than that. Thanks tho!
Anyone else got any ideas?

My company uses this piece of software; http://www.salesmanager.nl/nl/salesmanagermobile.htm
Its in Dutch and I dont know if there's an English version..
I found this (outdated) article about "Microsoft CRM Mobile"; http://www.sonomapartners.com/articles/microsoft-crm-mobile12.aspx
And this is a download link "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Mobile"; http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...66-7EC8-4AFE-BBFA-91E7210C55C4&displaylang=en
You do need the MS Dynamics package to make it work tho..
You can also look for "Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Small Business Edition"..
You can get a demo which is floating around Microsoft's website.

Even though this is an old thread, im curious to hear what others have been using in 2009 and 2010 since devices like the HD2, TP2 etc have emerged.
Thanks

Hello!
I have some great idea for WindowsMobile software. Similar software is there for iPhone and it's market is worth millions of USDs, while on WM, there is no such thing!
I am looking for a revenue share partnership: I am finishing server side part and need some to make Windows Mobile Client. Technology is not very important for me. Please, PM me for details if interested(let me know your IM too if possible).
Hi,
My 5 cents on this issue:
1) If you have a buissness idea worth millions of US$, you should NOT discuss it with anyone, without a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement).
2) If the idea has already been implemented by Apple for the iPhone, then chances are, that there are patents on the technology or parts of it.
3) If you are still sure about this buissness, then you should HIRE WM programmers, instead of offering them partnership against their work.
4) If you don't have money to pay them, you should set up a propper business plan, protect your idea by submitting a patent request and/or registering the algorithm/software/brand, and get risk capital involved.
5) You should have enough cashflow to build a propper client/server application and infrastructure: if you are not infringing on Apple's copyrights, then probably any other could copy the same idea, too. This means that the first offering a propper service, will have best chances to stay on business when competition starts.
If you do it with no or little money, then chances are that you:
1) Will not setup a propper product and will lose the little money you invested
or
2) Will setup a working product, which is under-dimensionated, allowing for competition to make a better product in no-time.
Please take this as a friendly remark...
Cheers,
vma
Thank you very much for your suggestions!
Well, it is not a million dollar project for sure. The market is worth a lot, but I'd rather thought of few k usd a month, nothing very big.
There are no technologies in that idea that can be protected, so no problem.
I just do not really want to hire programmer the normal way. I do not need a worker, I need someone who loves programming(well, I am a programmer myself, just Windows and server side) and creates art instead of binary code Investing is not a problem for me, I have capital, but as I said, I need one, good programmer who will be developing the app longterm for a cut of revenue.
What kind of specific programming skills are you looking for ?
The application needs to look well, even very well. That's the main objective. Need stuff like nice graphics, kinetic scrolling etc. implementation of accelerometer and HTC Leo's multitouch if possible. Language and technology is not very important for me.
It will need to take some data from user, send it to my server and present the response from my server in possibly nice and intuitive way.
Hire Programmer ASAP
For a sure deal, why not check out http://www.hire-programmer.com/. My professor mentioned this site, and apparently, they provide their clients with the kinds of programmer their clients need. If you are in dire need of a programmer, then trying their services poses more gains than losses.
I have an app idea that I think is going to be HUGE!! I mean, the potential of this thing is way beyond any small time fart app or app to sync contacts. I'm talking growth.
I've started reading and soaking up the Android language, but by the time I could learn something on my own and do everything needed to market it, someone else may come along with the idea.
I want to assemble a team of a few developers, artists, and web builders to form a team. I have a narrative of the app, a general idea of marketing it, and a well planned out idea map. I just need to assemble the team.
I want people I can trust though. To me, the potential of this is likened to a winning lottery ticket - so I'm not going to just start blurting things out. I want to get interested people, talk, get to know each other and then I'll drop this killer idea.
If you're interested, please contact me! [email protected]
Hi,
I'm new to Android and this community, so sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place.
I need to set up a solid and reliable Point of sale (POS) system for a food business. Doesn't need to be portable, and there would be 2 or 3 in each store. It would have an inventory of about 50 items. The system would need to be able to provide detailed data such as times of individual item sales etc.
I'm just wondering what kind of systems are available that can do all this, and what experience people have had with it?
Are there any major advantages/disadvantages of this whole idea?

You are posting in the wrong place, but I work in the EPoS industry so can probably help. Best to take this off-line - drop me a PM and we can discuss further - before the thread gets locked.
Hello ycon,
There are many Point of sale System available in market. If you are running a food business, chances are you are going to need an all-featured point of sale software. The basic integrations that are a must in each POS software application are payment and transactions, bookkeeping, accounting, employee management, inventory management, and customer relationship management.
If you are looking for POS System which will fulfill your business requirement then I would like to Recommend Technology Counter which is Best Tech recommendation platform with reliable list of POS Software so that you can explore, analyze and choose the best solution that suits your needs.
Developing a good android application is not an easy task (neither impossible ) especially if you have small or no team. It requires many skills and talents, such as coding, designing sense, music sense, marketing skills and list goes on. You have to keep an eye on everywhere since lack of any aspect can result in poor response form users (which is the last thing an android developer want).
Recently I have developed an android game (Fruiteria) in my spare time and launched it recently on Google play store (see link at the end of this post). It took me about 74 days to build it from scratch. It was a challenging task but I learned a lot from my experience. I would like to share my experience with you today!
Let's discuss what are the things one should never avoid while developing application :
1. Concept and implementation of application
As I said above, there are many aspects to application development. But no matter what you do, You will not be successful by selling poor quality application. So, first thing everyone should think about is a good concept. Your concept can depend on your goals such as business advertising, social work, marketing or simply making money! Also, having a good concept on paper is one thing but it's implementation need patience and constant efforts. If you have a nice concept and willingness to put efforts into it, then consider you are already at the half way!
2. Grow your concept with time
Second point I would like to mention is try not to be stubborn!! If you think that you have the best concept in the world, but the world thinks the other way, then you are in big trouble. After all you are building the application for people. Take suggestions from users and your friends to change and grow application concept. Believe me, it works like magic!
3. Research
Before building your application, try to do some research on what is the market for your application, who are the competitors in market and why they are successful (or unsuccessful), who are your target audience and what do they exactly want. Working on such things will give you a better idea on what needs to be done exactly.
4. Marketing
This one is tricky! If you are an individual, or a small company with almost no capital, then it is hard to put much money in marketing. Especially when there are already giant companies present as your competitors. But that is not the end! Think about creative ways to make your application popular. For example Give it to your friends to use, and tell them to spread it. If you are in college, then sponsor a small event in exchange of application publicity which will not require much money. Make discount coupons and distribute them. In essence, do every little bit of thing that you can. You might not see the effect on first sight, but over time it will accumulate on large scale.
5. Keep in touch
Last thing I want to share is don't leave your application after launching! Keep updating it regularly by adding exciting new features and fixing bugs if any. Respond to user comments and reviews. It gives personal touch and they will start thinking that you care about them. It will definitely increase the user retention and hence the growth of your application..!
I personally have been implementing these principles in my application since the idea came to my mind. Finally I succeeded in development of a good android game (or at least I think so!). But as I said earlier, my success depends on how you respond to it! I am sharing the link for game in case if you are interested in checking out my game. Please let me know how you find it by reviewing it on Google play store!
All the best for your android endeavours. My best wishes are with you!!
